Favorite sand has to be Glamis. Pismo is too rough for my standard travel & so much of it is closed down now. I did like Mamoth wash but thats pretty much still glamis sand. I think I went to Buttercup once (off the 8) but I was alone (so couldn't travel too far in) and found a lot of razor backs.

I camp with my dad & his buddies, they're like mac guyver and can fix anything with duct tape & ty wraps. The one time I didn't camp with them & I went on a run in Glamis I got left in the dunes! Not a fun experience!

I like my buggy... just need gears, better tranny & I'd like to bump it up to a mid travel. All my dads buddies have standard but they have honda engines so they can put through the dunes while I am workin it between 1st & 2nd. Need new paddles but need the bus tranny first.

My buddy took me for a ride in his long travel LS1... asked if I wanted to drive it and I said, hell no! If I drove that I'd probably never want to drive my buggy again! lol

The (I guess you'd call him) leader of our group has a mid engine just like your first rail only his is orange. He got tired of changing tires so now he has another buggy for dirt / rock!

I have a 2110 VW engine, which I love, but my tranny is out of a carmengia and my gears are WAY too high for 2nd & 3rd. Dad had a buick engine (loved the power but it was too heavy & cracked his frame), now he has a honda.

This was our new years trip. (My dads is the green & he is standing by my purple one)

BTW ~ nice paint job... is that a roadrunner? I always go cheap on my paint, what with the arizona pin stripping & kids climbing in & out... not to mention the seat belts taking out chunks of paint... UGH!

Looks like a fun group. 2210 is a good engine, but you really need to get those gears changed. Don't remember the ratio, but I could dune all day in third gear. Same with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.

I put naugahyde around the frame rails and on the inside of my side panels to prevent seat belt ding.
